Professional Development discussion

  • IT SIG has been coordinating with eXtension, using Iowa State's Connect for Web conferences. 20-25 minutes and Q&A. All sessions are recorded for watching if you miss a topic, or want to watch it later
  • Several topics have been done in the past year
  • Other topics suggested: Flickr, OpenID, Using eXtension wiki, Portable disk imaging
  • Need more topics, and people to teach topics
  • Suggested: as go through sessions this week, keep in mind that some of these topics may lend themselves to wanting a follow-up session for ACE IT SIG
  • Request for presenters
  • Suggestions:
    • SmugMug (for managing online photos)
    • Widgets
    • Show examples for extension uses of wikis and blogs- Applied (Anne volunteered!)
    • interesting applications of some technology that's not new, but used in a new way
    • SharePoint Services
    • Wikis in SharePoint
    • SlideShare (Roger volunteered :))
    • Online Surveys
    • How to find out about new technologies
    • More with Moodle -- show & tell, lessons's learned, model course
    • How do we, as information technlogy professionals
    • How to deal with administration in our institutions
    • How to managing expectations
    • How to work with campus-wide technology groups more effectively
    • Alfresco (an open source CMS)
    • Elluminate
    • Account and Password management
  • May want to do some longer (hour) sessions on more in-depth topics
  • Discussion topics that would draw in more IT folks would be good! Good to have topics that introduce a technology that everyone may not use, but as professionals they want to be aware and knowledgeable about
  • Comment that many NETC sessions lend themselves to recorded PD session, and then NETC could be used for more discussions and collaborations
  • Link state provided Recordings on topics (ie, Becky mentioned Office 2007 Transition trainings) to the ACE SIG wiki site to share with other members.
